Orders Were issued on Tuesday for discontinuing the preparation s that were making on board eight of our men of war in th e h ar b our o f P ortsmout h, which it is supposed, froin the manner in which they were fitting out, were intended to be sunk in the Scheldt. . . The line of battle ship which was found on the stocks at Flushing is nearly taken to pieces, and the, timber all en:barked. There is a frigate also-in progress of equipment, but private letters say she gets on very slowly, and that it would require nearly ten weeks to put her in a .situation to be towed over' ft Enghtid. A gun-brig . is soon expected to be launched. A great number of brass guns have been found in the Island. It is supposed they will be brought to England. BUONA PARTE, according to report, is seriously in disposed, and has been obliged to send tor a physi 6an. What must be the state of a man who cannot but fear that the physician whom he consuns may . be desirous of ridding the world of him, and may . . !herefore leave the disorder to its natural cour , e, it it be likely to prove fatal. But if so - desirable an event as his death were to happen; though no illumination might take place, it is certain that every body would rejoice but the instruments of his criMes, end his dependants. ALEILANDaa the great reso lutely took the medicine from his physician, though lie had been _informed that the latter intended to him, acting froma lofty consciousness of , virtue bat BuoNavaitTa has no such foundation for confidence, and has reason not only to fear de s.trudton train an individual but from almost every pOdy who approaches him. are sorry to find that though the birth-day of THONiON, the Poet, is annually celebrated at Ednam, the place of his nativity, a sufficient sum of money has not been raised by subscription, in Scotland, to warrant the Society who patronize this celebration, &c. in proceeding with a monument in honour of such an ornament to the country. It .might hare been expected that a sense of national pride would have retiidered not only the affluent people of Scot land, but every body capable of tasting the del►gltts of gtnuine poesy, prompt in their contribution to do Jumour to the memory of so favoured a votary of the Muse. Colonel Donaidson, of the Light Company of the Ist regiment of Guards, who died at Harwich, on 111‘, return t ruin Flushing ; was succeeded by Colon e l Ctilquet, who mounted guard yesterday► at-St. Jiiints's for Me first time siiic.bis promotion. A letter from, Vienna of 'the at sr August, to a house of the first mercantile respectability, states. that since the French had been in . possession of 7:lieste, they had committed the most wanton acts Qt, plunder on .the inhabitants, which had been per- I t nitted by their Commander in revenge for their rea dbless 10 permit commercial intercourse with Eng land..

I - ... ,2 ... 3 - 4 YeSterday' the Earl of HARROWBY .entertained the LORD CHANCELLOR, Earls of WESTMORLAND, BATHURST, CAMDEN, CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHE QUER, and a party, with a sumptuous dinner, at his house in Grosvenor-square. A young Lady of the name of DATCHETT, 'who resided in South-street, New Road, Paddington, was burnt to death on Monday last,..by her clothes taking fire from the light of a candle. She was_sent up stairs by her mother to look out some artieles, of dress for washing, and in a few minutes after the house was alarmed by her shrieks. On two of her sisters running up stairs, a shocking scene. presented itself, for the poor girl's clothes were in one flame. Medical assistance was obtained without delay, but the unfortunate Lady was delivered from her ago nies in the course of the night by death. It has been slid that BUONAPARTE probably means to retain possession of Vienna, as lae, has established a series of. Telegraphs between- that capital and the French 'frontiers. Such may he the intention of a man whose ambition is insatiable ; but • as,none.of the spoils of his usurpation can remain a moment after his death in the hands of his •family, he is only preparing, if possible an inceased detestation of. his memory and hostility against his. odious race. The Haunted Tower and The Mayor of Garrat were represented last night to a crowded house at the Lyceum, and received with great applause: — The characters were well arranged in, both pieces, • and in general well supported. The name of a Mr. O'REILLss- has been introduc ed in a public print two or three times, as one of the" Orators at Covent-Garden Theatre.' It certain two or three persons have attempted to Speak since Mr. LEIGH addressed the audiencg, but tithing ha; been heard like the - speeches imptited to this Mr. O'REILLY, and iherefore the writer' should imitate those Politicians-who publish a speethsai " intend-- ; ed to have been spoken." It is quite shocking to observe the acrimony with which some writers continue "heir wracks upon the Covent Garden Proprietors, though they have done every thing in t heir power to impress the public with • a full convidion of the state of their atfiirs; and though a Committee of five as respectable .men as this or any country can boast, and who are - pecu liarly qualified to decide upon the case, hive given an unbiassed. judgment in their favour. If those writers are men of properly, it maybe asked of them how they would like to be reduced vs the ne cessity of exposing their whole concerns to the pub lic at large, and whether they derive as little in terest front their capital, as, according to the award of able and honourable judges, the Proprietors de rive from -their. Theatre ? We do sincerely hope, that the Metropolis of this Country is 'Characterized by too strong a sense 'of -justice, and feelings too manly and generous, to suffer the outrages which disgrace the Theatre night after night, to continue, but wily resolutely exert itself to prevent a herd of wanton boys, and democratic ruffians, from disturbing any longer -the puislic peace, and pre venting the operation of our great' national amuse ment. It has been insinuated that Sir CHARLES PRICE had an interest in deciding the investigation into the concerns of Covent-Garden 'Theatre, on ac count of its expenditure in oil. Nothing can be more despicable and unjust than this insinuation, as the worthy Baronet has not the least` connexion with the Theatre iii the way of business. Indeed the whole of the Committee' have a6ted so nobly in devoting their valuable time-to the inquiry, that, as no compensation can be.. made to them, no praise can be too high for such disinterested liberality. The most splendid preparations are making to give effect to the illuminations on the 25th inst. Some of the public Institutions, are, it appears; to be'bril liantly lighted with srahspareticies applicable to the occasion. • A most distressing circumstance occured, on Modday •night, at a Gentleman's house in Gower street, Bedford-square. The house-Maid, who had been 'lately married to a coachman, who lived in Gower's-Mews, against her parents' consent, drown ed herself in a cistern, in the back part of the house. • GLOUCESTER, Our. 2.-0 a Tuesday last, Charles Buckinghani,lus Cowper (both'of notorious - cha raaet); John Thompson, and James Payne, who were all capitally convicted at our. last Assties, but whose sentences have been commuted for transport ation, - were sent from hence by the London coach, in order to their being conveyed to the hulks at Woolwich, preparatory to their embarkation for Botany Bay. The four prisoners wereironedichain ed together, and hand-cuffed; mid, thus secured, were placed inside of the coach, accompanied by two guards within, and one on the roof, well arm- ed. On Their null/al at Uxbridge, between five and six o'clock on Wednesday morning, whilst stooping ;or toe porpole of changing horses, one of the keepers came Ott to procure some "inter : he had scarcely entered the inn-yard, when Buckingham, Cowper, and Thompson (having contrived - to un screw their leg-irons during the night) jumped out' of the coach, and ran off the *remaining guard, who was inside, being prevented following them for' the moment by Payne, who it was afterwards dis covered had not succeeded in getting rid of his irons. An alarm; however, was instantly given , and they were followed by the keeper from the roof, and the one inside (who quickly extricated himself from Payne) ; but, although the whole three were still, hampered with double hand-cuffs, they oUt• stripped their pursuers, and got clear al. It is a satisfattition to know, that if you buy a The Party Prints give the most exaggerated ac counts of the state of our troops in Wal , cheren, though we are assured that the disorder is abating, and that as our countrymen become wore used to the place, they are likely to do full as well as the former hihnbitants who wade no such complAints previous to our possession of,the Island. The probabi.ity is that many .of the young Officers • who have been accustomed to ease and luxury in this country► and not seasoned to a military We, may be desirous of returning to their former enjoyments, but we cannot suspect that any of them would send home communications intended to teed the malevo lence of party writers. • Letters received yesterday from Holland state, in very positive terms, that the Emperor Alexander has interfered in the Negociations at •Altenburgh, in a manner which has given great offence to.Buo oaparte. - • By Letters from the East 'of Europe it appears, that the Russians in Moldavia and Wallachia have received considerable reinforcements, and that the army in Galltcia, lately aging against the Austrians, has orders to march to those provinces. On Wednesday evening, a poor young woman, almost naked, with a child in her arms in the same condition, was detected stealing a loaf of bread from a baker's shop in Pimlico ;7and being distovered, she dropped on her knees, praying forgiveness, de claring that neither of them had eat any thing that day. The Wife of the baker then went with her to her lodgings; where being well convinced of ,ber extreme distress, she not only pardoned the Offence, but allowed her to take the loaf; to which she add— ed another for the child, and ordered her to call once a week for a similar allowance, with a caution never to be guilty of the like crime again. JUBILEE. Mr. Sheriff Woon addressed the Court. He 5311 he -had a motion to submit to them, which he boil would. meet their unanimous approbation. Every Member present must ncRT be convinced that the Ilesolutiotts , passed at a former Court were pasell contrary to ga- standing order, .aud consequently of u effea ; and . he believed it to be the wish of tip.; Court to correct the error as soon as possible. Wien the former passed, a .great deal of odium had been also thrown upon them by their constitutAusand the public, which it became their duty to do away. On that occasion a, Gentleman asserted, that althou4h the dinner was voted, yet if all the gusts were to pay, few would attend : ; that opinion he considered to be a gross libel upon the Corporation, tor he confident that ,whether.the Members were. ineliu,A to dine together or not, they would not be biassed by the experace. He himself did not approve of a pub he dinner for themselves, because he thought the money then to be expended might be employed to various more laudable, purposes. There werea .t many men confined in the different prisons of the - city for very small debts, whose. liberty would be grateful to themselves and the public, amongst wiwei were two individuals who had formerly been Mem bers of that. Court. .To afford them assistance in their distresses, would .be much mare honourable than to spend the money, as h a d been formerly pro- posed. The establishment of new alms-houses, or public school, had occupied his attention as snore worthy objects of the, liberality of the Court than. a dinner, but he shtiuld leave that to their k!onsidera, Lion after he should snake his, motion, which was as follows t— „ " That so•much oldie former Resolution as relates to the illuminatiQp of Guildhall, and a dinner, at the expense of the' Corporation, on the'isth instant, is nugatory, it haVing been carried contrary to the 32d standing Order of the Court, and that it will be more conson.int to the feelings ht jesty, and more hanottrable to the • Corporation, to el:.Ct number of Afinshouse, jot the reception of ne:dyed fracineri and their tv tams, by ‘vb,cii ine - tins core year of his NI 1- jes‘ty's reign, 'and every succeeding yoar, wilt be congratu fated. with joy and delight by hundreds 9f the present 04 sec.. cecoing generations." • • ' r • • • • • Mr. BELL gave credit to the motives which attu ated the worthy Sheriff; but he was of opinion that the same objeaions which were, made to the former Resorutions, in so far as they I.were pas,dd coin rary to a standing Order of • the Cou'rt, would be equally applicable to,.t he present motion. • Mr. Smatiat. butoN was surprised that the inge nuity of the worthy Sheriff, ur the aqvice or thuit whom he had consulted, had not prevented his falling - into t . ito the same error of which he Mr. WOOD denied that he had consulted any. per son. . • Mr:Mimi proceeded. He was of opinion, th It.. the. Aorthy . Geollernan, in making his motion ; was . somewhat influenced by a desire or popularity. Po polarity, he admitted, was.a source of great pleasure to every honourable mind, and he gave him credtt . for it ; but if the Gentleman wished the Corporal ton to show their liberality in the manlier propose.i by his motion, he wished him to set the exeinple from his own pocket, and 4e (Mr. D.) would pledge him- self and his friends to follow him. He was sure nu . Member of the Corporation would be backward. But that ought not to 'prevent the Corporation din- • ing together. They had already agreed to celebrate the 25111, and he thought it a proper way to do it . with festivity,• without abusing the good things. He wished the Members to continue together all day, and enjoy themselves sociably, without letting any 'party spirit enter their minds. They had all,agreed upon the virtues of the.,Sovereign, and the many ati vantages enjoyed under, liis beneficent reign ; that, alone was the subject of the congratulation, and not any political party, whether in ur out of power.— When their hearts should be cheered, he was sure the collector of the subscription would not, go away with an empty putse. Having now gone over the subject, be could not retrain from expressing his surprise to see so thin an attendance of Members upon so joyful an occasion, and the absence of the four itrpresentatives for the city he thought still mute sut prising. One of them he supposed to coo sider. the calculation of losses sustained by a theatre of more importance than attending in his place. .' Mr. Alderman GoonasHaak thought that a stand ingtion ; ord b e u t t of i i the t ,4,Courtas the .mustcontravened w,i4 b h e ottlie c o rpoirt:taidot::to ing either the present motion or the former resQlu . appropriate their funds on the approaching 25th, it was proper. for them to deter mint.: to what obj-...;..:, whether for alms-houses, which would gain thew iintitortal honour, .or for a dinner. The tunnel - he • thought better, as it had gone, abroad that no dinner should be had unless the funds paid for , it. If thjy,wksited to 'clear theaiselt es of 'that imputation they orlght to Put their hands in their own pockets, and wipe away the unworthy impression. Mr.. 'JACKS said, that the itinds of the Court ought i not to be expended unnecessarily, and he could not for one Accept of a dtiltier at the expellee of the Co. - poration. 'A great number of prisoners were now . i a confinement, and a tittle money would procure their liberty ; 'and he thought the Court ought- at pres'ent to follOw the practice used at former-Jubilees, sett- CORN-EXCHANGE, OCT.
